When it comes to managing symptoms of menopause, Custom
Medicine offers a natural choice for hormone replacement
therapy that helps alleviate symptoms and may provide long-term
benefits. See if bio-identical hormones
are a good choice for you:

Are
you suffering from hot flashes or other symptoms
of menopause?

Are
you worried about maintaining your bone health?

Is
your libido not what it used to be?

Is

Achieving
Hormone Balance

For decades, synthetic hormone replacement was the unquestioned
standard of care until the results of the Women’s
Health Initiative revealed the health risks and side effects.

Custom Medicine specializes in Bio-identical, or natural
hormone replacement therapy (BHRT). This therapy uses
hormones that are biologically identical and therefore
indistinguishable from those created by the body. Rather
than replacing lost hormones with synthetics that simply
manage symptoms, BHRT helps restore the body’s hormones
to optimal levels.

Our trained pharmacists work with you and your clinician
to determine the treatment plan that is right for you
and your body alone. Using specialized equipment and
purified
hormones, we create the unique formulation that your body
needs to restore hormone balance.

Bio-identical
Hormone Replacement Dosage Forms

Since dosing is patient specific, we work with you to
determine what dosage form is the best fit for your body
and your lifestyle:

Topical (transdermal) gels
or creams

Using a penetrating gel, the hormones
get absorbed through the skin so the body can use
only as much as it needs, and eliminate the rest.

Slow
Release Capsules

Allows
several hormones to be combined in one capsule.

Sublingual Drops

A few drops under the tongue can deliver a systemic
dose in a matter of minutes.

Flavored
Lozenges

An
effective and tasty vehicle that provides great
absorption.

Vaginal Suppositories

Ideal for relieving specific symptoms

Bio-identical
hormone benefits

Bio-identical hormones are an increasingly popular
choice to
reduce or relieve symptoms associated with menopause

Discuss the possibility of having Custom Medicine compound
a therapy with your physician. Or, we can contact him

plan tailored to fit your body and your lifestyle.

"What
people need to understand is that when their natural hormones
are at optimal levels in their youthful prime is when
they are the healthiest. It's only when hormones decline
and synthetic hormones are introduced to the body that
we see these problems. In my practice of prescribing natural
hormones to women for five years, I have never seen the
problems and side effects as we have seen with the synthetic
hormones. Why not replace the body with natural biologically
identical hormones. Anything else, as we have seen with
the recent discontinuation of the WHI Trials, is dangerous
to a woman's health."

for Men and Women: How to Achieve Healthy Aging in response

“Suddenly,
the seven dwarfs of menopause arrived at my door without
warning: Itchy, Bitchy, Sweaty, Sleepy, Bloated, Forgetful
& All-Dried-Up. One by one they crept into my own
private cottage in the woods and started to take over
my life.”
